It was not very good. In fact, most slaves weren't allowed any privileges that whites were allowed.
Answer:
The legal status of slaves was "chattel" or "property". They were not counted among the human population of the country. They had no rights.
As far as can be discerned, slaves in Delaware, Washington DC, Missouri and Kentucky had no "civil rights". They were judged to be "property". This was the same situation in the "South" which eventually became the Confederate States of America. The US Supreme Court tuled in 1857, via the Dred Scott case that slaves could not be citizens and they had no recourse to the US court systems. The decision apparently affected all Afro-Americans in the US at the time.
Slaves in other places in the Western Hemisphere were no better off. This situation varied, however, depending on what European nation that slaves or even freed slaves, found themselves in. Slavery was last abolished in Brazil towards the end of the 19th Century.

Most slaves lived on plantations with 20 or more other slaves, or in the case of a small slave owner, had links with slaves nearby.

Most slaves worked in the fields, though some of the women were used as house servants, wet nurses, or 'babysitters,' and the men as coachmen.
